Gets hit too easily,I wish someone would improve his defence. Congratulations on winning but crikey, improve your defence!
He gets pretty reckless at times.I know he’s a work in progress and he’s super strong but they’ll have to do plenty of work to mix with the big boys….
Agreed
Every fight a war for no real reason
Has all the attributes to be a fantastic boxer / pu cher but just does not use them
CTE here we come
Was Anastasia there to root for Nikita? For those of you who are unaware, she is the younger sister of The Tszyu Brothers, and their personal cheerleader. That is her job, since she does not box.
All male Tszyu’s have boxing in their genes, mind, heart and blood Could become Australia’s most successful boxing family ever Born and bread for boxing and winning I had a bet on Nikita haha My congratulations to Nikita and good luck in future
We dont know that’s true. Only they would know. Some boxers are just good athletes and Boxing is what they know best.
Not necessarily in their “genes, mind, heart and blood”. Camacho jr. and Chavez jr. had great starts. Let’s not get outta hand. Things are different competing on this side of the waters. For now, a good start.
Exactly, we can’t anoint Nikita just yet until he fights in the states. Tim Tszyu is doing fairly well in the states but needs that major fight to solidify himself. No fault of his own and he desperately wants that Charlo fight.
He makes for exciting fights becouse of his all action style. Having said that, he seems to work to hard for his wins this type of fighters burn out quick and usualy have short but exicting careers. He is a southpaw so he has that going for him but needs to incorporate a solid jab instead of just pawing with it.This will help him fight at a slower pace which would allow him to find other openings intead
he’s relying to much on his right hand making him very predicable…Got all the time in the world young man slow down.
As others have said Nikita gets hit entirely too much and you don’t see guys get considerably better at defense throughout their careers very often and younger fighters with bad defense generally grow into older fighters with bad defense.
That being said though, you can still do pretty well if you have a really good chin and good power. Jaime Munguia’s defense is still pretty leaky and he’s a former world champ and 40-0 or whatever and Jarrett Hurd became a unified champion blocking with his face.
Needs to improve his defense a little but but looks like another future champion for the Tszyu family…
These boys are exciting!
Only got the belt due his old man and brother reputation that is the facts jack thrown fights and payoffs what’s your prices judges maybe I can get a chance to be the champ
When the time is right I’d love to see a bout between Nakita Tszyu and Callum Walsh.
What a beauty that would be ! Similar styles and got the added benefit that Callum Walsh looks a bit like Ricky Hatton and obviously Nakita Tszyu looks like his dad Kostya Tszyu.
